Keyword: Avocado, corn
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 4 Ears corn shucked
  • 1/2 Cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 Clove garlic minced
  • 1 Tsp. chilli powder
  • 1 fresh lime  zest and juice to be used separately
  • 1 Tbsp. water or more as needed
  • 6 Cups baby kale
  • 1 Tsp. salt
  • 1/3 Cup queso fresco crumbled
  • 1/2 Cup cilantro leaves
  • 1 avocado thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion pickled

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium high heat. Wrap each ear of corn in foil and place directly on the grill grates.
  • Grill, rotating every 8 to10 minutes, until corn begins to char (about 30 minutes).  When corn is cool enough to handle, carefully cut the kernels from the cobs.  
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, garlic, chili powder, lime zest and ½ of the lime juice. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until the consistency is right.
  • In a large bowl combine kale, salt and remaining lime juice. Gently massage the kale for 15 seconds to soften.   
  • To assemble the salad, toss together massaged kale, corn, dressing, queso fresco, and cilantro.
  • Serve immediately with sliced avocado and pickled red onion.
